Mount Nodorin (Mirselec Nodorinhorma) is a mountain in central Hyomeniga Province, standing at 1,891 metres. It is sometimes called Sainahorma, or "Central Mountain", by Hyomenigani, due to its central position within their province.

Nodorin is widely considered an dormant volcano; the last major eruption was estimated to have been around 7,000 years ago, and even now it does eject ash into the air every few years. It is the site of an unusually high number of hot springs, and three towns renowned for their hot spring inns stand around the foothills of the mountain, namely Furasa, Itnev and Bano. The valleys around the mountain also have very rich farmland, and on the foothills of Mount Nodorin is the famous city-fortress of Shezinas, an ancient capital of the region.
